KAMPALA, December 15, 2016 - Former AIPS
Young reporter Ritah Aliguma was on Monday reappointed vice president of the
Uganda Sports Press Association after two years of massive contribution to the
growth and development of the sports scribes’ body. This was announced during
the first USPA Assembly for the second term of Sabiti Muwanga as the president
since the elective assembly late November 2016 at the Kamwokya City Tyres main
hall.

During her term one tenure as vice
president she championed a couple of USPA projects spearheading the expansion
of USPA to include upcountry membership for those that have for years been
ignored. Her achievements in the two years included empowering women using
sports as a vehicle and restoring hope for the unprivileged children in slums
and war-torn areas of the country where peace has prevailed but with nothing to
fall back to.

Ritah Aliguma championed the first USPA
Health Campaign among sports men last year partnering with corporate League,
spearheading the first East and Central African regional sports convention
graced by AIPS president, the first live broadcast of USPA Gala and securing
partnerships with Brussels and Ethiopian Airlines for USPA Executive travel
were part of her two year achievements. Uganda Sports Press Association is
still hailed for promoting Women in leadership and growth.
